Need some help with .items and .sitemap

Tutorials & Examples

I have a Raspberry Pi 2 with openHAB 1.8.1 and Aeon Z-Stick Gen5. I can see everything in habmin including my “Aeon Labs DSC06106-ZWUS - Z-Wave Smart Energy Switch” which I’m using for my testing. :slight_smile: My issue is I’m not sure how to tie things from items to the sitemap. I’ve looked through the demo setup and can’t seem to follow the logic :frowning:. Here is what I have in my items file:

/* Aeon Labs Smart Energy Switch */
Switch PowerSwitch “PowerSwitch” (Office_Desk) { zwave=“7:1:command=SWITCH_BINARY” }
//Number Meter_Energy “Total energy usage [%.2f KWh]” (Office_Desk) { zwave=“7:1:command=METER,meter_scale=E_KWh,refresh_interval=60”}
//Number Meter_Power “Power consumption [%.2d W]” (Office_Desk) { zwave=“7:1:command=meter,meter_scale=E_W,refresh_interval=60”}

I’m sure I’m missing something basic in how to setup the sitemap to see and control this. If you can point me to a good guide or something that can help it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in Advance.

// is commenting out or deactivating the line.

/* Aeon Labs Smart Energy Switch */
Switch PowerSwitch "PowerSwitch" (Office_Desk) { zwave="7:1:command=SWITCH_BINARY" }
//Number Meter_Energy "Total energy usage [%.2f KWh]" (Office_Desk) { zwave="7:1:command=METER,meter_scale=E_KWh,refresh_interval=60"}
//Number Meter_Power "Power consumption [%.2d W]" (Office_Desk) { zwave="7:1:command=meter,meter_scale=E_W,refresh_interval=60"}

it needs to be

/* Aeon Labs Smart Energy Switch */
Switch PowerSwitch "PowerSwitch" (Office_Desk) { zwave="7:1:command=SWITCH_BINARY" }
Number Meter_Energy "Total energy usage [%.2f KWh]" (Office_Desk) { zwave="7:1:command=METER,meter_scale=E_KWh,refresh_interval=60"}
Number Meter_Power "Power consumption [%.2d W]" (Office_Desk) { zwave="7:1:command=meter,meter_scale=E_W,refresh_interval=60"}

PS code coloring and formating is acheaved with

I had those disabled to make sure I could get basic functionality first. I found my issues, should have been:

Switch PowerSwitch “PowerSwitch” (Office_Desk)

{ zwave=“7:command=SWITCH_BINARY” }

Thanks again for the help!
